VITAMIN D & CANCER RELATION
2.5 mcg (Micrograms)= 100IU
The Research - Various claims were earlier being made that usage of calcium supplements + vit - D reduced risk of various cancers . So in order to prove it , a research was conducted on 1179 post mensural (less than 55 years) who were given 1400-1500mg of calcium with 1100 IU of Vitamin 3 supplement . After 12 months it was observed that all cancer risks were reduced by 75% . Hence it was concluded that improving of vit-D and calcium nutrient status, by large , reduces all cancer risks in post -menstural women .

In a study of 6000 women it was found that those who were regularly exposed to sunlight had less chances to develop breast cancer than those with lower exposure with lab showing that vit- D may help kill breast cancer cell and reduce metastasis i.e. spread of cancer from primary organ to other organs via bloodstream (Dr . Mehmat /Oprah.com) An everyday exposure of 40 % of the body to sunlight for a period of 20 minutes gives you around 50-70ng/ml of vit-D3 , which is supposed to be an ideal level to prevent breast cancer . Best time for exposure 10am - 2 pm (Data source - Dr axe ) Apply sun screen always before going for sunbath / in sunlight suggests The Skin Cancer Foundation , to avoid skin cancer and premature aging process.
